Woot double cast on!

I cast on for two projects last night. I figured if I wanted to knit on them this weekend, it would be beneficial for me at least get them started. That is usually the most annoying part for me. I ripped Camellia (ravel), just because I hated the cotlin yarn at that gauge. I need to make it out of something more squishy. I've pretty much decided I hate cotton yarn that doesn't have acrylic or wool added to it. I won't make the mistake of buying it again. So, I have all of this cotlin and needed something at a bigger gauge. Interweave's Frock camisole (ravel) is on my queue so I started that last night. It is more my style as well.

I also started Pixie Purl's Country Kiddie. Can I just say how adorable her baby girl is. Really... I just smile every time she puts up new pictures. That is just the cutest baby face ever and believe me I'm not much of a baby person. There are a lot of babies coming around here, so I thought I would get started making some of these. I may even put some away for my future (yeah I think I've decided I would like to have kids some day now, nesting is a bad thing haha).

I got my yarn pirate booty club package yesterday!!! IT IS GORGEOUS!!! Wow all I will say is shiny!

So you may be wondering why I am stocking up on weekend knitting... I'm going on a mini vacation with my momma. We are going to Kansas City for quilt store and yarn store action. And we'll hit some antique stores as well I'm sure. They always have an outdoor philharmonic concert at union station for memorial day which is a lot of fun and is my main reason for going. Knitting outside at a concert, yes please! Bella is coming with. We will have a lot of fun. I'll post pics on flickr as I take them so you can stalk that if you like.
